Is all art art?

This painting was hanging in our hotel room in Aalborg. Is this really art?

Life is full of irony #3

Or funny coincidences. Or whatever you want to call it.

There is a cabinet in my office at work that is locked and there's no key, because the person before lost it. Also, when asked what was inside the cabinet, the person couldn't remember anymore. Determined to solve the problem before I leave for 10 days off I asked someone if there are reserve keys. I was shown to a kind of safe with a bunch of small plastic bags with keys in it. Luckily, someone wrote numbers on the bags, and the search was not totally hopeless, although it still took a while. 

In the meantime, with me stressing because I had a lot else to do and the key thing was taking way too long, someone else approaches me and says that the cable to the projector in the meeting room is broken and we need to get a new one as soon as possible. Great, another pickle... We stopped the key search and initiate a cable search in the storage room. We found one that could work. I should try to find D., because he is tall and can change the cable. No success. D. was nowhere to be found and the cable was not right anyway. 

In the middle of the chaos that was my head, I restarted the key search. While cursing and trying to decide how to get a bloody cable as fast as possible, I found the right bag of keys! Hoping that they would indeed be the right ones, I went to my office and tried them. 

They worked! 

I opened the mysterious cabinet, that had been locked for months and looked inside. What was there? An infinite pile of internet cables and... one of the type we needed!! 

I grabbed it immediately and ran out the door. Who is passing by at that exact moment? D.!!! The long guy who could change the cable. 

And that's how chaos turned into, not one, but two problems solved.

The WTF moment

Apparently irony runs in my family.

Last year, me and my parents were walking around in the city center of my home town when we saw a group of people surrounding someone laying on the road. We understood that something had happened. As we got closer we realised that there were two people laying down, and they were my cousin and her 4 year old son. They had been hit by a car when crossing the road. She was happy when she saw us, and I can only imagine how nice it must feel to see someone you know in a situation like that. She even said I looked like a vision, since she didn't know I had already arrived.

My cousin broke her leg but her child had no big injuries. My cousin's knee has not been easy to heal though and she had to take a lot of time off from work. Now, almost a year later, she can walk and she was advised to go to a gym and train the injured leg to reinforce the muscles and recover its strength. She did. But on her first session there she could not believe what her eyes saw. Who works in that gym as personal trainer? The guy who was driving the car who hit her.

... or as she called it: the WTF moment of the day.
